awesome day today. started it all off with 10k ruck march and averaged a little less than 15 minutes a mile. not bad, but i hear that's airborne pace. and also, no blisters. after the ruck our DS gave us a little time to go back and fix ourselves before the day of training, so i missed breakfast at the dfac. but we trained in the sun until about 1700 and i was pretty tired and dripping with sweat for the second time today. it felt good to be outside all day instead of being inside. speaking of outside, texas is getting warm. which means the barracks are also pretty warm, and the CO wants us to all sleep in pt's. probably not going to. anyway:
Breakfast: missed breakfast so i ate some lucky charms i ganked from the dfac.
Lunch: 2 egg rolls, glass of milk, bowl of multi-colored pasta with marinara sauce, glass of apple juice.
Dinner: plate of spaghetti, green beans, and i was still hungry so i got some corn pops with skim milk.
Indulgences: 2 cookies at dinner, a few lemon heads from my wife, and 2 32 oz. bottles of gatorade.
Side note: i was sharing stories from basic today with some others and when i said i went to knox all eyes turned towards me. one soldier was in bravo when we all got there and the only thing he could remember about the knox boys was nye leaving his pt top in his fridge. we had a good laugh. but there still isn't anyone with better basic stories than us. i guess the low crawl pit at leonardwood is a grassy field or something. so i mentioned the saw dusty, football field sized low crawl pit with berms like waves of the sea we got to crawl through. remember? it's where we all saw williams cry the first time.

no rucking at airborne school
Yeah we all slept in PTs when we had weapons there.
And I think the 15 minute mile is the Air Assault standard of 12 miles in 3 hours, but I'm not sure. I remember DS Mitchell in basic talking about it once or twice.
